The distributive property is basically expanding brackets.

So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:

3x + 12 = 36

And from there you simplify :)

3x + 12 = 36

3x = 24

x = 8

The distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientist needs to make 2 liters of saline solution (salt water), in which the salt
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1.60 L of 10% solution

0.40 L of 35% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = amount of 10% saline solution, and y = amount of 35% saline solution, then:

x + y = 2

0.10x + 0.35y = 0.15(2)

Solve with substitution:

0.10x + 0.35(2 − x) = 0.15(2)

0.10x + 0.70 − 0.35x = 0.30

0.40 = 0.25x

x = 1.60

y = 0.40

The radius of a circle does not change with direction, it stays constant. This, the radius of the bigger circle is 4, and of the smaller circle is 2. Thus, OP equals 4 + 2 = 6. You're correct! :)
